Whether you want a crystal ball for clairvoyant reasons or you simply think it makes a beautiful addition to your home, these balls will all eventually require cleaning. In many cases, they’ll simply collect a bit of dust after sitting on a shelf or office desk. And if this is the case, you’ll merely have to wipe it down with a damp cloth.  But if there are fingerprints smudging the crystal ball or some other undesirable element on the ball itself,  here are some easy cleaning tips.

Basically, you’ll want to wash crystal balls in warm water with a mild detergent. Generally, crystal balls are resistant to scratches, because the material is so durable, but you’ll still want to be careful to use a non-abrasive soap and cloth. Rinse to remove all the soap then dry with a lint-free cloth.  Return the ball  to its stand using gloves or the cloth. One note: Never place cold crystal items in very warm water. Drastic temperature changes can damage crystal.
